Coconut Pecan Chip Cookies

One day last week, Mr Napping came home from work and decided he needed to make cookies.  I was mildly baffled, but who was I to stop him?  Besides, why would I turn down cookies?  These ended up being really, really, really yummy.  Who knew the man could bake too?  How did I get so dang lucky?!  Ready for this?  Your taste buds are gonna water…

COCONUT PECAN CHIP COOKIES
 
Ingredients:
– 1 cup butter, softened
– 1 cups packed brown sugar
– 1/2 cup white sugar
– 2 eggs
– 3 Tbsp milk
– 2 tsp vanilla
– 1 1/4 cups flour
– 1 tsp baking soda
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 3 1/2 cups rolled oats
– 1 1/4 cup shredded coconut
– 1 cup chopped pecans
– 2 cups of cinnamon, butterscotch or chocolate chips
Directions:
– Preheat oven to 350F.

– In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth.
– Beat in the eggs one at a time.
– Stir in the milk and vanilla.
– Add the flour, baking soda and salt.  Combine with the sugar mixture until well blended.
– Add in the oats, chips. pecans and coconut until evenly mixed.
– Drop 1″ balls onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes.  If you want a little crispier cookie add 1-2 minutes.  Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.  Store in an air-tight container.

Yield about 5 1/2 dozen cookies

 

*We tried cinnamon chips, butterscotch chips and chocolate chips.  The cinnamon were the undisputed favorites.  My second favorites were the chocolate chips, but I could take or leave butterscotch.  Mr Napping liked those ones a lot though.

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
